The "West Africans" on that Bootleg Hustle -- Jay Caught in the Crossfire
Monday. 10.16.06 10:35 am
It seems that everyone's album gets leaked these days… and all the labels can really do is be tight about it and have their panties in a bunch. But when it comes to Hov? Def Jam recognizes no such thing. And I find this hissy fit hilarious.
According to Mediatakeout, Def has gone as far as contacting the F.B.I, threatening the leaker with promises to carry out criminal charges against them. Although there is no precise lead on who is responsible, Media says that a West African immigrant exclusively told them tracks from Kingdom Come began to surface globally after Jay accidentally left the disc in his hotel room in Africa, where it was stolen.
Media then said they later encountered a street vendor in Brooklyn, who had copies of the album for sale. The hustler told them the copies had just recently come from Africa. Who knows.
Jay has nothing to worry about. But if you're as corny as Jobbs or Jabbs or whatever his name is, then leaks are definitely something worth fretting over. Especially being a new artist on the scene.
Which would you rather have? A leaked album or an (accidental) fucked-face baby's mother? Neither one is a good look. Nevertheless, good luck to both.
